TASTER LESSON

If you have never ridden a motorcycle before why not come along for a one hour taster lesson? This will give us an opportunity for us to get to know each other, a chance for you to decide whether biking is for you, and for us to advise you on your best route forwards. A nominal charge is made for the Taster Lesson, which is refundable on booking a training course.


COMPULSORY BASIC TRAINING (CBT)

All learner motorcyclists must now complete a course of Compulsory Basic Training before riding on the road. While we initially allocate one full day for the CBT, our course provides unlimited training to take you to a safe and competent standard, allowing you on successful completion to ride a motorcycle of up to 125cc (limited to 15bhp) for a period of up to two years. If you do not complete the CBT on the first day all further training and bike hire is free of charge.


STANDARD A2 LICENCE

This course is open to all candidates aged 17 or over. All training is conducted on a 125cc bike, on which you will sit your test. On successful completion you will receive a licence restricting you to for a two year period to bikes of up to 33bhp. After this two year period you are free to ride any size of machine without the need to take a further test.

We offer the Standard Course in two formats:

1. An intensive three day course following on from the CBT. Element one of the test on the will be sat on the third day, with element two following on a day the next week.

2. An extended course offering a maximum of 30 hours of training after the CBT, spread out out over a longer period, coming in once or twice a week for 2-3 hour session.
